Oilers win 6-5 ...no, that's not a typo

Far from a solid game. Outstanding 1st period and then Chicago dominated. I hate how when we get a lead, in the 2nd half of the game we just sit back and coast. It has cost us so many times including on this road trip. Power play looked great tonight. Dubnyk better not miss time. I have 0 confidence in Danis. He's not a good goalie.

RNH looked better offensively tonight. Hopefully he keeps it up. Want to end the road trip with a win vs Colorado (although they have turned their game around and look good now).

Really starting to ? Krueger and his love affair with turtle speed Smyth.

yeah, some of us have hated krueger since about the 4th game of the year, when his "tendencies" became all-too-apparent

i've said it a bunch of times, and i'll keep saying it (as it continues to be true): krueger has NO IDEA how to run a bench ... consistently playing the wrong players at the wrong times... it's laughably bad in fact

I don't get all the whining....yes we got dominated the second half of the game but we brought the game in the first half and they brought there's in the second half. Just goes to show how good a team Chicago is to not give up.

you can thank krueger's "system" for that... never putting the petal to the metal, never going for the throat, never trying to knock a team out of it... always playing not to lose, playing passive and weak... krueger's system makes me want to kick babies, lol

Yep. People get confused sometimes. Push-back by a team doesn't automatically make our response crappy or bad. It's the best team in the league. You're going to have moments where they're dominating, and that's what happened. We kept the lead, won, and that's what matters.

good game by Hall , some very nice passes... can anyone describe Whits goal , I missed it and it sound slike Hall made a beauty pass

pretty much yeah

hawks won faceoff, hall dived below the goal line, took the puck, peeled back up the right half wall, fired a pass across the circles, whitney one timed from the left dot

this

anybody who didn't think Chicago was gonna push back after going down 4-0 to the worst team in the WC doesn't get it

Now kruegers "plan" worked... Promote smyth and petrel and bench harski and yak... When offence is the only thing you have going for you, you don't try to play d all the sudden in the third by benching yak, one guy who actually gives a ****.

**** you Krueger, I hate you more than I've hated any coach of the past.

i hate this "play not to lose" mentality

also this wasn't the greatest game for the oil. nice early offensive explosion but again, defensive breakdowns and they got away with a few plays that could have been called penalties that weren't.

entertaining game though. THIS is what the nhl should be like. Fast paced and chances back and forth. i love this type of game. Keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Translation : I HATE ANYONE OTHER THAN ME COACHING MY TEAM! I HATE WINNING MORE THAN LOSING!
